Sexual / Social Behaviour of Bonobos


Primate Sexual Behaviour: Two female Bonobos enjoying face to face genital sex.Sexual intercourse plays a major role in Bonobo society, being used as a greeting, a means of conflict resolution and reconciliation, and as favors traded by the females in exchange for food. Bonobos are the only apes to have been observed engaging in all of the following
sexual activities: face to face genital sex (most frequently female-female, then male-female and male-male), tongue kissing, and oral sex.
Sexual activity happens within the immediate family as well as outside it, and often involves adults and children, even infants.
